Pink is for Happy, Yellow is for Nerdy [Closed]

Who: Raven & Koishi.
Where: On a random rooftop of Genessia, probably not far from the library.
What: An half-demon meets... a youkai girl.
When: September 16th around sunset.
Warnings: None that I can think of (unexpected hugs? XD) but I will update if needed.

Raven had found what seemed to be the perfect spot for her daily meditation session. A quiet deserted rooftop. From this location, she could see almost all Genessia and yet it was unlikely anyone would notice her there. Or so she thought, at least. Also it reminded her of the top of the Titans' tower in Jump City.

As the sun started to set, she sat down cross-legged. A few seconds later, she was levitating in that same posture a few feet above the ground. Her lips barely moved as she kept repeating her mantra under her breath.

"Azarath Metrion Zinthos... Azarath Metrion Zinthos..."

Of course murphy's law had other plans for Raven's ideal spot. Though Koishi did not fly down and greet every person she met, Raven's mental presence attracted her attention very quickly. Re-angling her flight, she turned and drifted down, landing next to the meditating dark sorceress, peeking around, looking up at her face.

"Hello? Miss?" She stepped forward, trying to suppress her obfuscating cloak. "Miss? Can you see me? Or hear me? Those are strange words. We don't have to speak strangely here. Why are you saying them?"

Her concentration broken, Raven landed quite abruptly on the ground. She blinked for a few seconds as she tried to figure out what had just happened... and more importantly, how come she now found herself in the middle of an interrogation conducted by a weird green haired girl, who had visibly no problem with invading other people's personal space.

"Yes. I can see you. And I hear you loud and clear... unfortunately for me."

Raven glared up at Koishi while massaging her now sore backside.

"Well... I was meditating. And I was not expecting to have an audience."

Although she's trying to suppress her frustration and how annoyed she feels, it can still be heard in her voice.

"Ohh. I'm glad you can see me. Not many people can. You must be special miss. Very special and very observant." Koishi's third eye drifted up, swaying a bit from side to side, her luminous green eyes fixated on Raven. What exactly was this girl. She had an unusual aura about her. She seemed to have no presence beyond Raven's basic senses. It was like she didn't exist.

"Sometimes unexpected things are the most fun. Otherwise life would get boring and stale. So please don't be so crinkly and powdery. That's not a good thing."

She reached out and grasped Raven's hand, squeezing it and shaking vigorously. "It's very nice to meet you miss. My name is Koishi Komeiji! I'm a satori youkai! I can't read minds anymore but its always really fun to meet another psychic!"

Talking about special... Raven noticed the third eye and her own two eyes immediately widened.

"For Azar's sake... What are you?"

Raven wasn't scared just... completely at a loss to what to think or do about that girl. She couldn't sense anything about her, no magic, no emotion, nothing. It was as if she truly wasn't there. And yet, she was there.

Raven didn't have much time to ponder about that before Koishi grabbed her hand forcefully and started shaking it. As soon as she could gather her bearings, Raven pulled her hand away and glared at the girl again.

"First I'm not crinkly..." Yeah, right. "And I like my life just the way it is. So thanks for your concern... Koishi. But now if you don't mind..."

Wait... What?

"How do you know about my abilities?"

And what exactly was a satori youkai? Raven knew she should have just gotten back to her feet and flown away. But as often her curiosity got the better of her.

The name might have been slightly familiar. Raven might have read about satori youkai in one of her books at some point.

Koishi didn't mind when Raven pulled her hand away, her smile unwavering. She had very little concept of personal space, moving closer, her third eye drifting up, bobbing and swaying a little bit.

"I can see it." She tilted her head. "The presence of your mind is dark and expansive. Its colors are different but you are psychic. That's how I know." She could feel Koishi's mental absence settling gently on her mind.

"And yes you are crinkly. You're very crinkly and crunchy. You shouldn't do that or else you'll get all the bad wrinkles early and your hair will start looking like the devil maid's."

Slightly familiar, yes. But Raven was not yet fluent in Japanese, despite having had Japanese roommates in the past two worlds she'd been to. She seemed to remember that a youkai was something similar to a demon, and that actually intrigued her.

That bobbing and swaying third eye made Raven a bit nervous, though. Not that she would admit it. And it kinda prevented her from relaxing completely. What Koishi said next did nothing to help. ...At least at first it did not. And then she started finding the other girl's presence next to her... pleasant. Soothing, even.

"Dark is an understatement. That's why you should stop probing it. My mind is not a safe place to explore. Even for another... demon."

Raven was trying to sound cold and deter Koishi for keeping 'scrutinizing' her mind. Or whatever it was she was doing. But when she spoke, her voice was unusually soft.

She even chuckled a bit at Koishi's next remarks. "Azar forbids. I kinda like my hair the way it is."

Koishi tilted her head a little bit, blinking. "Demon? I'm not a demon. I'm a youkai. I've met demons though. Miss Redwings is a demon and she gives me these little bread things sometimes. They're buttery and shaped like moons. I really like her." Something like a demon, maybe, but certainly not one.

"And I can't stop. My head doesn't turn off and neither does my eye. But don't worry about me. My mind is upside down and inside out and scattered every which way and hidden away in the quiet. I can't even find it myself! You wont be able to hurt me. Even by accident." The presence on her mind didn't lift at all.

"Your mind is very pretty. But I can't see whats inside. Only the things people don't look at directly. Only the subconscious." The artery over her left shoulder twisted around, the looped heart becoming more defined.

"I like your hair too. It's purple. But its a darker purple than the big purple thing I saw. He's psychic too."

Raven frowned. Damn Japanese language and its words that could mean many things. "Well I've met Youkai before. They were demons too..." She knew youkai could also mean ghost or spirit, or monster. But calling Koishi a monster would seem kinda rude, right? And she did not 'feel' like a ghost. Then again, she didn't feel like, well, anything. Raven decided that she would do some research on satori youkai and for now put Koishi in the 'something else' category. "Does this Miss Redwings live here?"

"I won't?" Raven didn't sound completely convinced but she sounded kinda relieved at the same time. If it was true, well at least there was that. Also that soothing feeling was still there. It was almost as pleasant as meditation itself.

The big purple thing. "You mean the Pokemon?"

"Noo." She laughed. "Youkai aren't demons or devils. Those are western creatures. Youkai can be similar or mistaken for but we're completely different. Miss Purple Moon told me once that youkai are more carnivorous while demons and devils are more parasitic. Not always, but usually. I think Sis has some books about it." It made sense, though Koishi may have unintentionally struck a chord.

"I don't like eating humans though. They don't taste very good. I prefer fish. If Miss Darkness wants to share, though, I'm not going to picky."

She brightened a bit as Raven's tone shifted. "Nope! My head is blank and inside out and all opposite. Psychic and mental and empathetic powers cannot touch me." The aura became more positive, though it remained calming.

She paused, tilting her head. "Pokemon...?" A frown. "I think it said something about a pokemon..."

Raven frowned at those definitions, especially the definition of demons, but said nothing. She chose to focus on the rest. "That's fortunate for humans, I guess. ...You have a sister, then?"

Miss Redwings, Miss Purple Moon, Miss Darkness... Either Koishi knew some peculiar people or... "Those girls... are they truly called that or is it you giving them weird names?"

The aura felt nice. Really nice. It almost made Raven want to smile for some unknown reason, so she refrained from it. "Well at least there's that... I mean, good for you." She would have preferred if Koishi had been able to turn off her own abilities but the youkai already said she couldn't do that, so.

"That would be because that's what he is. Just like you're a youkai."

"Yeah! Sis is really nice. Her head isn't tilted though so she can still read minds. She can't turn her power off either so she doesn't like to come into the city much. There are so many people and things that it gives her a headache because its so loud. I get headaches too sometimes but for different reasons."

She blinked. "Nooo Miss I told you. I can't remember names anymore so I give them names that I'll remember. My head is all over the place, swirled around, and tied with bow." She reached up to remove her hat, pulling her bangs back to reveal a severe looking scar above her left temple. It was about the size of a penny and was slightly depressed into her head as if she were missing a bit of skull. "Now my mind and eye are on opposite sides." She put her hat back on.

"I try to make sense. But sometimes I can't. But that's okay. I'm much better than I used to be." Her third eye drifted up, swaying a bit. "I always mean something though. What's the point of talking if it's only nonsense?"

The aura was unchanged, for the most part. It seemed to be reflecting her good mood, though. "I really like you Miss."

Touhou has fairly concrete definitions between demons, devils, and youkai. x3

Nothing wrong with that ;)

I just say "fairly" because there not actually defined on paper. there are just obvious trends.
